 Children thoroughly enjoy themselves and behave well at the club. They fully understand the rules and routines and show kindness and respect to others. Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour. Children of all ages get on well and play harmoniously together.  Partnerships with parents are good.

These help to complement their learning in school.  The manager ensures that systems for recruitment are rigorous and ongoing suitability checks of the staff help to keep children safe. Staff monitoring and supervision procedures are focused fully on raising the quality of their practice to an even higher level.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff attend training to keep up to date with the latest legislation. They are clear about their roles and responsibilities in relation to child protection. Staff have a good understanding of how to report any concerns they may have about a child's welfare. Staff implement a wide range of policies and procedures and maintain all required documentation. They monitor children's attendance and follow up any absences with the school and children's parents. Arrival and collection times are well managed to ensure children's safety. In addition, daily safety checks are completed for all the areas that children have access to. Staff position themselves effectively to supervise children at all times. Staff help children to develop an interest in their community and acquire a positive understanding of diversity through activities linked to different festivals and countries.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their knowledge about children's interests and preferences to offer a variety of fun and enjoyable experiences overall. They provide a flexible and relaxed approach to play and learning. Children are self-assured in their play. They confidently spend time talking with staff and visitors. Toys and resources are of good quality, age appropriate and within easy reach for children to help themselves. Staff are very kind to the children and join in with their games. Children really enjoy making shapes with beads and playing musical chairs. Staff interact well with the children and engage them in conversations. Children relish talking about going up the spire of a church and describe how it was really scary. Staff develop good links with the host school. Information is shared effectively, helping to ensure continuity of children's care and learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well supported when they first start at the club. They are allocated a key person and build secure relationships with staff and with other children. Staff gather information about children and take time to speak with parents to discuss their needs. Children are happy, self-motivated and enjoy their time at the club. They readily engage in a range of activities that build on what they already know or like to do. Staff encourage the children to further develop their independence and take responsibility for small tasks. Children enjoy helping to get the food ready for a party and talk excitedly about the nutritious foods they are eating. Staff are successful at promoting children's physical and emotional well-being. Children really enjoy chasing bubbles and playing tennis outdoors. Children manage their own personal hygiene needs well, according to their age and stage of development. They learn about managing risks and keeping themselves safe.
